"I can come visit you in Spain for a couple of days, but not the whole time. Zeb wants me to stay home most of the time." And by "stay home" he meant "attend social functions and make nice to all of my creepy friends." Which Pres didn't mind so much. It gave her an excuse to go shopping and buy lots of new pretty dresses for all of the holiday parties. Some of which she was sure to see Awar at. That is, if her mum was up to it so soon after...
Presley eyed the kid. "Anyway, this means we should go shopping together. Are you going to Grandfathers Christmas Soiree?" Of course Awar was, the question Pres was really asking was 'Is your mother coming to Grandfathers Christmas Soiree?' Everyone who was anyone would be there, and if they were struggling financially, it would be good for them to jump back into the public eye as quickly as they felt comfortable.
Awar fished out a couple chocolate chips and popped them in her mouth. She let them melt on her tongue before talking.
"Yay!" She jumped up and down.
"It'll be a fun couple of days!" "Um...Manolo and I were planning to go, but my mom probably won't be going. She said she has some things to sort out with my Grandma and Grandpa Santiago." Some things is all she could say. She didn't know what was going on. Her mother always talked on the phone in a hushed voice or left the room.
